King

Under the shocked eyes of Hu Yiheng and his two aunts, Lin Yan left the military-political marriage in a hurry.

However, when he followed Master Ku Yun to the meditation room of Abbot Fazheng, Lin Yan unexpectedly made an astonishing discovery.

Lin Yan found that the villagers at the foot of the mountain had brought some fresh vegetables and put them on the front lawn where the kitchen was located. Among the several monks who dealt with the villagers, weighed them, and paid the money, the leader was actually a lame monk!

In an instant, Lin Yan thought of the footprints in different shades that he saw on the front lawn of Ye Xier's house.

At that time, he concluded that the one who wanted to harm Ye Xier was a lame person.

Although the other party was a monk with a very special status, Lin Yan also kept an eye out. After finishing the affairs with Abbot Fazheng, he tried to find out the background of this lame monk.

So, Lin Yan remained calm, glanced over there for a while, then withdrew his gaze, and continued to walk to the meditation room with Master Ku Yun. Masquerade: You can't be a concubine in troubled times.

"Benefactor Lin, please."

After walking to a Zen room in the backyard, Monk Ku Yun opened the door and made a "please" gesture respectfully to Lin Yan.

Although until now, Ku Yun has not been able to understand the reason why this young benefactor, Lin Yan, was able to make the abbot of Fazheng think so highly of him, and even almost went out to greet him in person, but at least, Ku Yun has regarded Lin Yan as a As one of the most honored guests of Dayin Temple, there was naturally respect in his words.

"Thank you Master Kuyun." Lin Yan returned the gift politely.

This kind gesture undoubtedly made Monk Ku Yun more fond of Lin Yan.

"Amitabha, little monk, take a step first."

Master Ku Yun smiled and took his leave.

Lin Yan walked into the meditation room.

As for Ye Xi'er and Liu's mother, they had already been arranged by Ku Yun in the Rongtang, and they had their own special staff to entertain them.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Yan heard a deep but very kind voice: "Benefactor Lin, you are here."

At the same time, Lin Yan felt that an invisible thing seemed to be firmly nailed to his body. Lin Yan was shocked, because when he looked up, he found that it was the gaze of Abbot Fazheng!

Just keeping his eyes on his body gave him a feeling of shock. Lin Yan knew that this abbot of Fazheng was definitely not easy.

But Lin Yan was not afraid, because he came to return the scriptures, so he was still a distinguished guest of Dayin Temple.

Of course, Lin Yan was not arrogant because of this, and still politely replied: "My junior, Lin Yan, has met Abbot Fazheng."

"Amitabha, Lord Lin, please sit down." Abbot Fazheng said with a smile.

Lin Yan found that Abbot Fazheng was about 90 years old, his face was full of wrinkles, he had a big snow-white beard on his chin, and he was wearing a golden cassock. His appearance was similar to that of other eminent monks. look like.

However, what was slightly different was that Lin Yan discovered that Abbot Fazheng was sitting in a wheelchair!

Lin Yan never thought that the abbot of the dignified Dayin Temple would be a person who lost his legs!

"Benefactor Lin Yan, I have been feeling cold recently, and I feel a little unwell. I didn't have time to go to the Daxiong Palace to meet Donor Lin. I hope Donor Lin doesn't mind."

Lin Yan was a little moved by the words of Abbot Fazheng, seeing that Zhengzheng's body could only move forward with the help of a wheelchair, but he still wanted to meet him in person, so Lin Yan said: "Master Fazheng is serious, boy He Dehe Neng, dare to let the master condescend to greet him."

Seeing that Lin Yan was neither humble nor overbearing, with a natural demeanor, Abbot Fazheng secretly nodded in his heart, thinking that this young man really belonged to the kind of young hero, as could be seen from the conversation and demeanor.

Abbot Fazheng directly opened the topic: "Benefactor Lin is too modest. If Master Lin can find the "Vientiane Prajna Sutra" lost by our temple, it is capable. If he finds it and returns the scriptures, he is virtuous. He is virtuous and capable. Why can't you make me admire you?"

Lin Yan smiled. In front of a seasoned old man like Fazheng, he was unwilling to continue being polite. Otherwise, the flattery he said based on his experience would easily be suspected of flattery. With a thought, he took out the golden Zen staff and a black box from the space storage container.

Then, he handed the black box to Abbot Fazheng.

Abbot Fazheng first glanced at the Zen stick that Lin Yan had placed in the corner of the wall, and said, "That's right, this is Zhang Zili's Zen stick at that time."

Immediately, Abbot Fazheng's gaze fell on the black box, and he slowly opened the box with an expression of expectation.

A somewhat dilapidated ancient book appeared before his eyes.

Seeing the five conspicuous black words "Wanxiang Prajna Sutra" on the cover, Abbot Fazheng no longer had any doubts in his mind, and finally felt relieved.

"Benefactor Lin, on behalf of the entire Dayin Temple, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to Benefactor Lin, thank you benefactor Lin!" Abbot Fazheng said emotionally.

Then, Fazheng briefly explained the process of losing the scriptures.

It is similar to the process in which Jinghangzhai's "Jinghangzhai Jizhujing" was stolen.

Knowing that Lin Yan had beheaded Wu Xingyun and Zhang Zili, Abbot Fazheng recited a few words from the Buddha, but he didn't intend to blame Lin Yan for killing them.

"Benefactor Lin, to tell you the truth, this "Wanxiang Prajna Sutra" is one of the [-] kinds of secret books collected by my Dayin Temple. It records one of the peerless martial arts called Wanxiang Prajna Palm. If the unique learning of Yinsi Temple is lost, it will be a very big loss for Dayinsi Temple, and I am really grateful to Master Lin for sending it here selflessly."

Abbot Fazheng kept the "Wanxiang Prajna Sutra" and said sincerely.

"Abbot Fazheng, you are serious. To me, this is really just a trivial matter." Lin Yan said politely.

Fazheng smiled slightly, opened the drawer beside the table, and took out a string of prayer beads the size of a wrist.

This string of Buddhist beads is strung together by twenty shiny dark red wooden beads. The material of the wooden beads cannot be seen, and there is a faint scent of sandalwood.

Abbot Fazheng handed the beads to Lin Yan, and said with a smile, "Sponsor Lin, this string of beads was worn by the old monk when he was young, and it has the meaning of protecting good people's life. I hope Lord Lin will accept it."

"Thank you Abbot Fazheng."

Lin Yan took the beads respectfully and said hastily.

He really likes this string of beads, because the beads contain the meaning of peace and blessing, and they are worn by Abbot Fazheng since he was a child. They are very meaningful. Abbot Fazheng gave them to himself. , so I happily accepted it, and immediately put it on the wrist of my left hand.

"I think Lin benefactor is handsome, especially his own strength is very good. He can reach this kind of strength at such an age. Lin benefactor should be a child of the Lin family, right?"

Abbot Fazheng was obviously in a good mood and was willing to chat with Lin Yan, a junior, so he said a few more words.

Lin Yan doesn't know how rare it is to be able to chat with Abbot Fazheng, what's more, he has already seen that the strength of Abbot Fazheng is extremely terrifying, maybe as long as he asks a question or two about cultivation, he can also Get no small benefit.

But Lin Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, because he didn't want to tell his background, so he said vaguely: "I have been away from the Lin family for a long time."

Abbot Fazheng let out an "oh", accurately captured Lin Yan's expression, and smiled slightly. Based on his experience, he naturally understood Lin Yan's thoughts.

But Abbot Fazheng continued to talk about the Lin family.

"The Lin family in Tiandi City is the family with the closest relationship with our temple among the three great aristocratic families. I have dealt with some people in this big family and have some friendships. If Benefactor Lin has any questions to ask, I will do my best to help you." Master Lin answered."

Lin Yan was taken aback for a moment, from the words of Abbot Fazheng, he vaguely felt that Abbot Fazheng had something to say to himself, but since he made up his mind not to reveal his background, Lin Yan then said: "Abbot Fazheng, I have no Whatever the problem, I won't bother you."

Abbot Fazheng chuckled, as if he said to himself: "In the past, about ten years ago, I met the former head of the Lin family, Lin Xiuping, the head of the Lin family. Coincidentally, he said that he had a son who also She had the same name and surname as Benefactor Lin, but unfortunately died in a catastrophe."

After hearing this, Lin Yan was shocked by how close the relationship between Abbot Fazheng and his father Lin Xiuping was, but that was all.

Therefore, Lin Yan was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, but the son of the patriarch Lin died unfortunately, and I also express my regret."

Abbot Fazheng didn't point out anything, just to avoid being wrong. Although he actually thought that Lin's benefactor might be Lin Xiuping's son, his rich experience told him that since even the person concerned was unwilling to admit it for some reason, then the matter Naturally, there is no need to prove the matter, and even in the future, it cannot be said.

So, he just said as if telling a story: "Patriarch Lin is a good man and a loving father. After losing his only son, his mood fell a lot, and he seldom went to Dayin Temple. Now the old monk also has I haven't seen Patriarch Lin for several years."

Hearing the words "good man" and "benevolent father", Lin Yan's heart stirred up waves.

Lin Yan said directly: "A loving father is good, but I have also heard that some fathers will change. For example, because of certain matters involving their own interests, they become strict fathers, or even more outrageous. .”

Fazheng smiled, knowing that he could not untie Lin Yan's knot, but he still did not forget to add: "A good person is always a good person, Patriarch Lin is such a good person, a good person, although sometimes it will affect others because of certain things opinion of him, but time will always tell."

"Some people do change, but there are others whose changes are only passive and forced."

"This old man still remembers a sentence that my uncle once said."

"The facts you see are not necessarily the facts."

The voice stopped abruptly.

Abbot Fazheng stopped talking.
